| Self-styled home by Mukesh Chauhan |
Action Tesa celebrates Diwali with IAnD readers, showcasing their
self-styled rooms/ homes/ offices; even bespoke areas. IAnD collates a few select entries…
Reaching out to our
readers to showcase their personal self-styled spaces has garnered an
overwhelming response. This activity was powered by Action Tesa, India’s
leading brand of laminated wooden flooring, MDF, particle and acrylic board,
designer door and laminated board, which is every homemaker’s preference, when
it comes to selecting the best material for their interior applications.
So here are our heroes:
Mukesh
Chauhan, Surat: “My wife and I have
lovingly built our home and gradually added to it over the years. We love our
home.”

| Sayli Patil's favourite corner |
Sayli
Patil, Pune: “Adding on
to my favorite corner of the house, a little more everyday. With contrast colours,
balanced composition gives me a perfect 'chill zone'”
 |
| Umesh Kumar's niche Sonu Punjabi's Dream Catchers |
Sonu Punjabi, Mumbai: “Weaving dreams into reality is my passion!”
“It can be seen in these beautiful Dream catchers that are a perfect adjunct to my shimmering gold painted wall and my favourite corner of knick-knacks.”
Umesh
Kumar, Hyderabad: “Concealed
window niche, a perfect area to display collectables; adding life to a dead
corner.”
“We had this odd window
opening directly into the lift lobby and decided to close it. However, after
concealing, it became a dead wall. So we decided to use the same window frame
to compose a niche and create a nice display area for our collectibles. We keep
changing the collectibles. We even keep our succulents there to add more life
to them.”

| The joy of Crystal D'souza's entrance |
Crystal
D'souza: “This is the entrance to our
house. I love a garden but since we live in a flat, that’s a far away dream. Hence,
I have plants in broken mugs outside my window. The thing I love most about this
space is the sight of the plants, when I enter the house after a long day! It relaxes
me instantly.”

| Rutvi Ashar's morning bliss |
Rutvi
Ashar, Pune: “Getting
out of bed has never been easier!”
“Waking up to an oxygenated corner of the
home, where my family enjoys their first cup of coffee; this calm nook on our
terrace is perfect for reading the early morning times. We all love this
space as there is an abundance of light without the natural glare of the sun,
greenery surrounds us as birds chirp their way into the morning! Lingering
here, we make memories till time pushes us to rush to work!”

| Kaushambi Shah's painted cupboard |
Kaushambi
Shah, Mumbai: “This
painting of dolphins and the sea brings the calm of the sea into my bedroom.”
“As it's a small room and I
spend a lot of time here, I felt I needed some calming influence. So I got
sea-green veneer done and painted a sea theme on one of the cupboards. It’s in acrylic
paint done by knife technique.”
 |
| DIY Lights by Kaushambi Shah |
Kaushambi
Shah, Mumbai: “It adds
sparkle to the decor”
“This corner in the living
room was reserved for a light feature. But I couldn’t find anything adequate.
So I got these glass orbs, filled them with pebbles and a faux lotus with
colour changing fairy lights.”

| Vidyarthi Bhavan, Bengaluru |
Vidyarthi
Bhavan, Bengaluru
Bengaluru’s oldest (1943)
dosa joint, the owner has the pride of several stalwarts from different fields
portrayed in a uniform format adorning the walls of his humble eatery. It is
said that the basic layout remains unchanged since its inception!
Avinash Yadav, who visited
this restaurant recently sent us this entry as the superlative #MySpaceMyPride!
